Mount Joffre is a mountain located on the Continental Divide, in the extreme southern tip of Peter Lougheed Provincial Park. The mountain was named in 1918 by the Interprovincial Boundary Survey after Marshal Joseph Jacques Césaire Joffre, a French army commander during WW I.
The normal climbing route (UIAA class III) is via the north-east ridge up the north face, which is covered by the Mangin Glacier.
